    2024 Volkswagen Golf

    The Volkswagen Golf line-up is now exclusively hatchback-only in Australia for the 2024 model year, with pricing on remaining models increasing by up to $1600.

    In addition to the axing of all Golf Wagon variants, the entry-level Golf hatchback has also been culled from the local range. This means the entry price for the car has jumped by $2900 to $39,190 before on-roads for the Life.

    A Volkswagen Australia spokesperson has confirmed the price increase for the entire Golf range is related to the cost of building the vehicle and shipping it to Australia.
